Sorry if this isn’t the right sub, I just don’t know where else to ask.

As the title says, I’m trying to see which smoker is most recommended. My husband really wants one and I’m hoping to get him one for Father’s Day this year. We have a friend who hosts dinner 1-2 times a month and uses his smoker and my husband loves it. Our friend has a PitBoss, which one I’m not sure, and based on small comments here and there, he doesn’t love it, but he doesn’t hate it. I’d ask him but he can’t keep a secret from my husband to save his life.

I’m hoping to get him one that is a charcoal or pellet style (not gas) and relatively beginner friendly (but won’t limit him down the road and make him have to upgrade).

TLDR: What Smoker would you recommend?
